Patterns in helminth communities: why are birds and fish different?
Abstract
SUMMARY: Recently, some authors (Kennedy, 1981; Price & Clancy, 1983) have argued that there are fundamental differences between the communities of helminths in fish and bird hosts. Such differences are foreshadowed by the work of Dogiel (1964) and are apparent from survey data (e.g. Threlfall, 1967; Bakke, 1972; Hair & Holmes, 1975 on birds, and compare Chubb, 1963; Mishra & Chubb, 1969; Wootten, 1973; Ingham & Dronen, 1980 on fish). Questions still remain, however, as to whether the distinctions are truly justified and whether the differences are really fundamental. In this paper, we address these questions by examining helminth diversity in a series of hosts. We then discuss and provide explanations for the observed differences.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
